I got the password and username now I get:

Answer 1

Your database_user and database_password values need to be set in the parameters.yml file. You can get those settings in the GoDaddy new account setup email that gets provided to you.

Answer 2

The error message you got is clear enough,

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'127.0.0.1' (using password: NO)

You need to set the right database_user & database_password in the parameters.yml used in your host. Check your accont configuration to get the right access parameters.

Answer 3

It depends on your hosting provider then . Sometimes when you have a shared server hosting the username is not root it could be {YOURGODADDYACCOUNT_root} or somthing. check your cpanel or plesk administration to get the right credentials.

Answer 4

As error message said. You need to provide some password. In my case, I just added 'root' for the password in parameters.yml file:

...

database_user: root
database_password: root

...

Answer 5

I changed database_host parameter in app/config/parameters.yml to 0.0.0.0 and this error disappeared.
